If the Zoo was smart, have 2 handlers at all time or remove the toger from the cage while it is being cleaned. Why would you kill an animal doing what they do.

Condolences are with the family who have lost their loved one. In time I hope you find comfort. But We cannot blame a tiger for
Being a tiger. It's what it's wired to do in the wild and they are wild animals. If we being it from wild to protect it then we must do so. Also understand when working with these animals to never think it can be tamed. Protect yourself always to help protect these wild animals.

It is so so very wrong to put down OZ and so unjustified.
Guest#479 Sep 21, 2015, 01:42

why the f do you blame a tiger for its natural instinct ??? idiots

Guest#480 Sep 21, 2015, 01:42
Because even though the tiger is in captivity doesn't mean their natural instincts go away, there are only 500 Sumatran tigers left into the wild due to humans wanting more land, infact human's are the most dangerous animals in existence, so please don't kill this beautiful cat for being a cat........ It only killed one person compared to the billions of animals amd other humans every day

As sad as it is that a keeper has lost her life and my thoughts go out to her family at this sad time I'm sure she would not want the same fate for the tiger. No matter weather or not a an animal is hand raised they will always have their natural instincts. You can take the tiger out of the wild but you can not take the wild out of the tiger.
Guest#482 Sep 21, 2015, 01:44
we keep wild animals in captivity for various reasons but WE are responsible for their health & well-being.......natural instincts prevail in any animal and unfortunately this tragedy is the result of keeping large carnivores.
Guest#483 Sep 21, 2015, 01:46
Because Oz was only doing what is natural for a tiger.
Guest#484 Sep 21, 2015, 01:47
heart goes to the family but the killing of a tiger for being a tiger is unacceptable. Nothing is served for death penalty.
Guest#485 Sep 21, 2015, 01:47
This is a wild animal and procedures need to be put in place to protect these stunning creatures and the people who dedicate their lives to protect them.
Guest#486 Sep 21, 2015, 01:47
If humans take animals out of the wild there are consequences... even if the tiger was born in captivity, he's still a caged wild animal, and to euthanise him for being what he is makes no sense.
Guest#487 Sep 21, 2015, 01:48
It's just doing what comes by instinct. Humans decided that zoos where a good idea, to remove wild creatures and try to tame them, humans must live with the consequences. These amazing animals shouldn't be in this situation!
Guest#488 Sep 21, 2015, 01:49
It was most likely feeling threatened and it may have reacted this way for other reasons which are at this time not yet clear.
Oz is a wild creature after all and it is their nature to kill.
Guest#489 Sep 21, 2015, 01:50
Tigers are wild animals and they should be respected for that, people are mauled because they become complacent
Guest#490 Sep 21, 2015, 01:52
because it wasn:t oz"s fault.not sure why keeper was in the enclosure with him.tigers should be in separate enclosure if it is to be cleaned out not sure what the story was for keeper to be in there.
Guest#491 Sep 21, 2015, 01:52
An animal should not be put down for doing what it's instincts are.
Guest#492 Sep 21, 2015, 01:53
Not tiger's fault. Human error! Much sympathy to keeper's family and staff.
Guest#493 Sep 21, 2015, 01:53

i just don't want 2 see oz put 2 sleep there must b a reason y he done it still sad 4 the Keeper tho I feel 4 her family

Guest#494 Sep 21, 2015, 01:53
I signed this petition because there is always a danger with holding wild animals in a cage. The keeper would have known this and if she died at the hands of the Tiger she died doing what she loved. I can't believe they're even considering killing this majestic animal, you are contributing to the worldwide extinction of Sumatran tigers if you euthanize it.
Guest#495 Sep 21, 2015, 01:54
This animal is kept in an enclosure against his nature. His nature isn't to play by human rules. Us humans can reason, so we have to play by Oz's rules if we want to 'keep' him.
Guest#496 Sep 21, 2015, 01:55
Because it's not the Tigers fault - it's the stupid zoo keeper for going in there in the first place and for having a "WILD" animal in captivity! Don't punish the Tiger for Human Stupidity and Cruelness!
Guest#497 Sep 21, 2015, 01:55
I think Oz should be put down cause he is a natural living animal that deserves to live. It's like when humans murder someone they don't get put down.
Guest#498 Sep 21, 2015, 01:56
SAVE THE TIGER
Guest#499 Sep 21, 2015, 01:56
Don't kill is gorgeous creature, my heart goes out to the family and friends of the zoo keeper but we are meant to be the intelligent ones here.
